Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

Hi, anon. I'm sorry your experience with bakerstreet has been a flop so far. Since you know about this comm and have hopefully read the guides in the resources link, I'm going to assume you aren't doing anything that might seem odd to dwrp veterans like using asterisks or introducing tumblr-like headcanons.

The most likely reason is that memes are seen as disposable by a large majority of players, we're afraid of confrontation when things aren't what we expect or want, and the pandemic is causing stress that makes RP harder or kills motivation.

If you haven't already, I recommend creating a post on your journal with preferences to make it clear you're cool with backtags (specifying how long is a good idea) and ooc discussion if indeed you are. We're a anxious, avoidant bunch overall but little steps like that may help facilitate communication between you and potential RP partners.

I hope you can find more considerate people to play against. It's a lot of fun when you find someone you mesh with.
